Cartoon Drive-Thru Needs Your Help!
Hi everyone! Iām Matt Wilson, creator of Bonus Stage, The Puzzle Hunters, Deadly Space Action, Sweet & Sour, and Princess Ness.
Iām moving to Minneapolis next month, and with that move comes higher living expenses, which puts the fate of Cartoon Drive-Thru in the publicās hands. As such, I need to raise my Patreon to $500 per cartoon! Without the Patreon, these cartoons simply would not exist. I have always enjoyed the support of a dedicated handful of fans, and now Iām hoping to bring some more into the fold.
To help with this, Iāve added two new tiers to the Patreon. Letās start with the basics: for $1, youāll get two 60-70 second cartoon updates every month (right now itās the Puzzle Hunters). For $3, youāll also get all of the music of my cartoons as well as any random music doodling I do. $5 will also get you HD versions of the cartoon updates. $10 will give you all of the above rewards AND get you a thank you credit when the cartoons are finished and posted to Youtube/Newgrounds! $15 is all of the above and access to commentary track versions of past cartoons. Finally, $25 gets you everything AND .FLA files for every update, released under Creative Commons (CC-BY 3.0).
I plan on streaming multiple nights this month to help promote the Patreon, both to stream my animation work and some games (how does Quiplash sound?). Iām also releasing some silly unrelated short-form cartoons this month and next month, as well as a little look at a cartoon that never happened (Go Ahead Make Us). The Patreon and Youtube schedule are as follows:
AUGUST 11: āMessageā on YOUTUBE (one-off cartoon)
AUGUST 12: Twitch Stream
AUGUST 16: Puzzle Hunters #16 Pt. 2 on PATREON
AUGUST 19: Youtube Stream
AUGUST 30: Puzzle Hunters #17 Pt. 1 on PATREON
SEPTEMBER 6: āGo Ahead Make Usā on YOUTUBE (abandoned pilot)
SEPTEMBER 15: Puzzle Hunters #17 Pt. 2 on PATREON
SEPTEMBER 28: āArgumentā on YOUTUBE (one-off cartoon)
SEPTEMBER 29: Puzzle Hunters #18 Pt. 1 on PATREON
OCTOBER 12: Puzzle Hunters #16 on YOUTUBE
Itās do or die time for the channel. Iāve been running it for 6 years now, and Iād like to keep running it for years to come. Independent animation is just super rad and I wouldnāt trade the failures and successes of it for anything else. But I may have to, if I canāt afford to keep the lights on. Thatās why Iāve come to you, hat in hand, whimpering pathetically, for your help. I canāt do it without you guys!
EVERY DOLLAR HELPS! Even if you canāt donate, if you can spread the word on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Reddit, Friendster, MySpace, Xanga, Deadjournal, Geocities, Drawings on Cave Walls, shouting at random people on the freeway, converting into a being of pure energy and travelling the cosmos, etc. All of that helps.
Thanks for reading, thanks for your support, and have a great day!
